One man was killed and another critically injured after a group of motorcycles wiped out on I-75 at the exit for state road 326. State troopers say a saddlebag fell off of the first of several motorcycles riding in a caravan.

A number of the trailing motorcycles hit the bag, throwing several of the riders off of their bikes. FHP Troopers say Gennero Dilauri of Merritt Island was one of them and was later pronounced dead at Munroe Regional Medical Center. Jack Helton of Longwood was taken to Shands in Gainesville in critical condition.
